Hi so im somewhat new to this. i joined back in 2019 almost 2 years ago and have never actually interacted. so hi. here I am. I'm currently studying music theory at my local junior college and plan on becoming a math/music teacher in the future, to say if becoming a professional musician doesn't work out for me. I am in a heavy metal band that I'm the sole guitarist and singer of and we don't really have a sub genre yet but we have 2 full songs down and things are looking bright. atm I am 20 years old and have been playing guitar since late 8th grade and more seriously in mid freshman year so like 6 years now. Avenged sevenfold has been one of my top 3 favorite bands(other two are avatar and Hollywood undead) since I heard bat country in 6th grade when I started getting into music and I saw them in 2017 opening for Metallica. Syn is a major influence and im glad to be starting to learn under him and papa gates' videos more frequently!
